What is he up to?
Diablo looked at Vega with narrowed eyes.
(kufufufu. He's just trying to survive, isn't he? It's a useless foot-dragging, but I'll play along with you.
Diablo will not be complacent.
Diablo will not make the blunders that Vega expects.
He can't do it anymore.
The reason Diablo had not gone on the offensive was because he was trying to get an accurate reading of Vega's capabilities.
It was almost done.
He had taken into account Vega's growth rate in his calculations, and now that the labyrinthine Isolation had reached its final stage, he was able to decipher the limit point of the labyrinth.
All we had to do now was to make Vega disappear without leaving a single speck of dust, but one troublesome fact was revealed at this point. As a result of the analysis of Vega's potency, it seemed that Vega might revive from the branched cells even if the main body was destroyed. (Probably, Vega's 'Evil Dragon King Azi Dahaka' will be inherited, and the information on Zelanus' dark cells will be transmitted. Even if we kill him now, the escaped 'Evil Dragon Spawn' will be resurrected as a new Vega...) No wonder Testarossa let him go, Diablo thought bitterly.
He could not allow himself to make the same mistake.
That was one of the reasons Diablo was a little worried. It would be easy enough to defeat Vega, but he needed to take steps to make sure that he would not be able to revive him.
There were two more concerns.
The first was that Mai would be targeted.
Since Vega did not have teleport capability, it was natural that they would try to take it away from him. However, if we are sure that Mai will be targeted, we can take countermeasures.
In this case, Vega's hope will not be fulfilled because Zegion is keeping a very close eye on him.
Second, this was a problem.
This was a move that Vega, by his very nature, was not likely to make. But one never knows what a cornered man will do.
While Diablo was thinking about this, Benimaru sent 'Telepathy Net' to him.
'The hierarchy is trying to Isolation Vega, but we've decided to scrap it all.
'Hmm. I agree with you on that.
'Hmm? Is there any other problem?
Benimaru also understands the situation on the big screen. Even so, it is difficult to get a sense of the temperature on the ground, so he listens to Diablo's opinion.
It was Rimuru's policy to share even the smallest problem.
No, you know. If we deal with this thing as it is, there is a high possibility that it will be taken over by the 'Evil Dragon Spawn' that is heading for the lower level. We have to get rid of it first to prevent that from happening. It is a theory that we should quickly get rid of an opponent like Vega. If you don't do so, they may gain extra power and become more troublesome. The reason why Diablo did not do so, even though he understood that, is because Testarossa had made the mistake of letting him go.
Diablo admits Testarossa's mistake, even though he made fun of her a lot. If she had made a mistake, it was something to be appreciated by her adversaries.
And in fact, he found Vega's nature troublesome.
The more troublesome an opponent is, the more surely you should proceed, even if you have to go a long way. Diablo was reminded of this, and he braced himself.
The 'Evil Dragon Spawn' that Dino and his team are dealing with has been revived many times. The first one that Diablo had defeated was also resurrected, and now he was facing three of them at the same time. Even so, they are still no match for Dino, who has been working hard, but they seem to be getting stronger little by little, perhaps because Vega is sharing his power with them more and more.
The one headed for the lower level is far away from the main body, so it may not be that invulnerable...
He's a pain in the ass, Diablo muses.
I see...
Benimaru, too, was troubled by the situation.
Seeing that Diablo was dominating Vega, Benimaru was planning a new strategy.
After Diablo defeats Vega, Benimaru discards the Isolation labyrinth. This way, even if Vega revives, he will not be able to come back to the labyrinth. Once the labyrinth isolation is completed, we will not be able to check the status on the monitor anymore. Before that happens, I was planning to make arrangements with Diablo.
Benimaru thought to himself that he had been a bit naive.
'All right, all right. We'll take care of that, you just keep things as they are.
We'll be waiting to hear from you.
With these words, Diablo terminated the 'Telepathy Net' with Benimaru. Then, with a nonchalant, disinterested look on his face, he began to chip away at Vega's power.
